Some rooms have a fireplace, some choose a t.v., this room’s focal point is the floor-to-ceiling, wall-to-wall window. Talk about jaw dropping awesomeness. Sometimes, too many windows can make you feel like you’re being stalked by Michael Myeres, making any task daunting….but, they’ve done it just right thanks to the privacy mother nature has supplied and the modern horizonital fencing (which I am the biggest sucker for when done in stained cedar, btw!). The plants chosen in the landscaping are super low maintenance, so why not go with a huge window and let mama sunshine bless your space?

But see, it’s not just nature that makes this space so cozy. There truly is an earthy element within the design itself. The wood tones in the chairs, the colored rug that’s reminiscent of the sun, the green and orange pillows….perfect for the naturalist.

I really love the juxtaposition of the modern/industrial cement floor and the black leather, chrome framed chairs, even the block walls with the more natural/mid-century modern wood-framed chairs and the Moroccan pouf ottoman.

Even the height of some of the furniture pieces really make this space feel more grounded. I can just invision myself…layin’ there on the rug, belly down, with a book…and hopes of some birds or fightin’ squirrels swinging by if a chapter gets too boring lol see, that big ol’ window is good for distractions too haha who needs a t.v. when you’ve got fighting squirrels?!

The glass coffee table does a great job at reflecting all that natural light, too….did you notice that there’s only one man-made light source in the photo? A lamp that’s not even turned on! And I think there’s a recess light in the ceiling, but thats irrelevant lol

And that’s why this is the #photooftheday
